Things You Will Need
Fortunately, you can get oil out of tile using materials that most households already have in the home.
-
Blot up as much oil as possible with paper towels. Do not rub, because that would spread the oil to a larger area.
-
Pour a thin layer of talcum powder over any leftover oil, then vacuum up the powder after 15 minutes.
-
Sprinkle baking soda over the oily portion of the tile spot, then drizzle a small amount of grease-cutting dish soap over the baking soda. Gently scrub the area with a nylon scrub brush. Finish by wiping the baking soda/soap mix away with a damp cleaning rag.
-
Mop the area with a solution of 1 cup white vinegar to 1 gallon water. The vinegar quickly cuts through oily residue and diluting it makes it safe for use on any type of tile or grout.
